Germany and Japan were recruiting child soldiers and suicide bombers by the end of the war. After the US forgave far more of their leaders than they should have, dumped tons of cash into rebuilding them, didn't settle their land, and stopped bombing them.

The court cases are the attempt to prevent Trump from running again. Probably they just want to keep him in court instead of out campaigning during the election. But if Trump wins anyways the cases won't matter. The liberal bourgeoisie won't break the rules to defeat Trump because their main criticism of him is he's a criminal. Any "deep state" bourgeoisie will try to puppet him for their personal narrow interests, ie war with Iran, or Venezuela, etc.

I think genderless sports by weight class is the ideal but the problem with genderless sports is general sexism. Like the main group who want keep chess of all things segregated by gender are the women, because male chess players are insufferable to women. All of these are solvable problems though.

The vast majority of world poverty reduction that capitalists claim has been from China. But hey, maybe China is a capitalist economy but you just need a communist government to regulate it effectively.

Its pretty clear they are engaging in brigading tactics like forum sliding. Instead of engaging with content you dislike, you post a bunch of other shit to push it off the front page. Mostly an image board tactic but it still sort of works on reddit.
